A Linux blog to share any hints, tips, ebuilds, and insight I have picked up along the way. My interests mainly lie in security, photography, the web, and multimedia.

New Blog coming soon...

I haven't posted in a while because I have been messing around with Drupal and boning up on my design skills because that is where I am seriously lacking. I've got Drupal figured out for the most part, but I haven't looked into building my own modules yet which it seems I am going to have to do because of some limitation I have already run into. The big issue is that there are still a ton of useful modules that haven't been updated to work with version 6 yet. Currently I am putting to use a little knowledge I gained about design to create a new site which uses Drupal. I have the design almost finalized but I'm still ironing out the details.

In other news, Evolution-rss-1.1 fixed my dark theme problem and it works on Evo 2.24. Webkit got another performance boost but yet again I am left out with a 64-bit machine. And finally Flash 10 was released. It totally borks my computer. A while back I upgraded both Xorg and Flash. After that I was having problems with my system completely crashing when the display blanked and I thought it was due to Xorg but it turns out after reinstalling the official release of Flash 10 it started happening again. I uninstalled and the problem goes away. I could never figure out how I got rid of the problem last time it happed but now I know. It's sad too because Flash 10 actually fixed a lot of issues for me like the infamous disappearing drop down menus that seem to hide behide the content.
